Getting Started

You’ve decided an apprenticeship is right for you. There’s a few important next steps to take to set you up for success.

Check your eligibility

To start an apprenticeship or traineeship you simply need to be of working age, and an Australian citizen or permanent resident. You don't need a secondary school certificate or other qualification to be able to do an Australian apprenticeship.

You can do an Australian apprenticeship if you're a school leaver, re-entering the workforce or as an adult worker simply wishing to change careers or gain new skills. You can even begin your Australian apprenticeship while you're still at school finishing Years 11 and 12.

The minimum age for an Australian apprenticeship varies across State and Territory. Check your local State or Territory Training Authority for specific information on age requirements. There is no upper age limit.

Know your rights and obligations

Australian apprentices and trainees are entitled to the same fair work conditions as other types of employees working in similar occupations.
